The Con-Com finishes the job, but what next?

are filipinos dumb!!stupid!! why we dont move..why are we very quite to all this that`s happening in our country..almost all are laughing when Gen Abat form his transitory Govermnet..for me he is one of the filipinos who have gut`s..to fight the evil without rancore..they in our modern times like Gen Gudani,LCol Balutan,mr Lucman,Sandra Cam and all the so called militants and leftist who wants to change and fight all the corrupt in the Goverment.they are all filipinos who trully love this country..not those who ridicule them or brand them as criminals..communist,terrorist etc.
isn`t those who are in the Goverment ridiculing this true filipinos are those are the one putting and endangering the lives of every filipino born or to be born.the head of this institution who were all appointed by GMA.Senga,Lomibao,Bunye,Ermita,Doj Gonzales,Mike Defensor,Claudio,Tiglao and others are only protecting themselves for living the luxurious life to the expense of the taxpaying and ordinary people.sure they will protect GMA for lying,cheating and stealing for they are also the recipient of monetary and position in the Goverment.
please let us all wake up and decide what is best for us filipinos..not this few evils in the goverment,claiming that they are doing this for the majority of filipino citizens..a big no..no..they are all doing this for their own vested interest..that is true and its a fact!!

However we change the system

File this law, push that bill

With the same persons in power

We’ll rot in hell, still.

zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………….

Filipinos don’t agree with this Con-Com. Obvious naman na bayaran ni GMA ang mga member nito. And the commission is created only for GMA’s survival. Filipinos still want the Democratic for of Government. People still want to choose the people who will lead them. Let us fight against this evil scheme of GMA to stay in power. She is not the real chosen leader on the country. Konting panahon na lang at mapupuno na ang salop at mag-aaklas na ang bayan!

Are the elite deaf to the clamor of the Filipino people. Most of us, doesn’t recognize GMA as the president and want her out of office. She stole the votes of the people and she has no mandate. Yet they want to legitimize her stay in power through Constitutional amendments. Like the election and the impeachment, she is buying the congress. They know that the congress can be bought kaya, hey go for the amendment buddy and you ‘ll get 3 years extension for free. That means more money for you.

a BIG NO!!!!. pwede ba alam na alam naman kung sino at bakit gusto nilang chacha. matatapos na po ang term nitong mga hinayupak na mga tongressmen at mga local officials na tuta ni arroyo. tapos na career nila. jvd will never be a leader kung may botohan kaya “nagkukumahog? ang tuta na ma-approved chacha para yung ambisyon nya na hinde manyayari sa election ay kanya ng matutupad.

anyway hinde ito papasa sa senate. at lalong ayaw ng mga tao. pero sa plebiscite pwede uli madaya kung comelec na naman. 60% lang ba? posibleng madaya. kung walang dayaan at ibase sa nakaraang election na nanalo si fpj vs. gma, di lalo na ngayon na 80% ng tao ayaw na kay arroyo. kasi chacha means arroyo and cohorts no way! di ba people?

Now that the ConCom has finished its job in initiating the amendments to the Constitution let’s see how it goes in the second phase when the incumbent Congressmen will draft it in its final form. If the final draft turns out to be more favorable to Gloria and is submitted to the people for approval in a referendum, it is likely that 76 percent of the electorate who represent the negative satisfaction rating in the surveys will reject it outright.

This is a reality that Malacanang and Congress must realize before they force the amended Charter down the people’s throat otherwise all their efforts will be for nothing.

People have become so frustrated by their acrimonious behavior that people will deny them of support. This 76 percent majority are looking for ways to fight back and rejecting the ChaCha is one way of doing it.

Moreover, people will never restore their trust in the Comelec to handle the referendum for as long as that body is not overhauled completely and all Commissioners replaced.

The real story is being told on AM Radio — may bagong hangong sistema na tayo ng pamahalaan at papalitan ang titulo mula Presidente sa Prime Minister simula 2007. Ngunit bigyang pansin ang wiretapping controversy sa US. Baka maintindihan natin ang Gloriagate. Nagwiretap daw na walang Court Order si Bush? May kilala ba tayong gumawa rin noon? Kailan? Paano?

Sa mga oras na to, di ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ni VP Noli de castro. Kung susuriin mabuti ang mga amendments na ipino-propose ng ConCom, lumalabas na wala ng papel dito si Ka Noli hanggang 2010 kundi alalay ni GMA!. Ang chance na lang nya na maupo bilang pangulo ay kung maging incapacitated o mamatay ang pangulo.

Siguro, this is the right time for him to consider the offer made by the Black and White Movement to him. Baka maunahan pa sya ni Joe de Venecia!.

talagang puro pakapalan na laang ng pag mumukha ang ginagawa ng mga punyetang nasa gobyerno. kahit mga isinusuka na ng higit na nakakaraming mamamayan. ay talagang patuloy ang pangunguyapit sa poder ng kapangyarihan ng mga tutang ito. may araw din kayo mga hunyango.

Of the politicos who will not appreciate “no el” i can think of many vice mayors, vice governors and others vice…s
I hope, also in this case, pcij sticks to the good tradition of making available the entire con com document (or at least a link to it). Also in respect to the commissioners one should read the entire text before starting the debate..

Yes, Dr. Meinardus, we will indeed be making the Con-Com’s report available for download as soon as we get hold of a copy.

the role of the vice president is subservient to the president. that is why in pure presidential form the vice president is not voted into office but follow the winning president. more or less as a succesor or the president hatchet man. the president may or may not give the vice a prominent role. ours is different though, because both are elected and could come from opposing parties. so the com com as obet noted taking the role out of vice “noli” maybe just copying the US model. imitation is flattery, but i wish they com com should come up with proposals best suited for the country - rather than copy a piece of bit from one system and others.

Rizalist, mabuti pa si Bush inamin na pinagutos niya mag-wire tap para mahuli ang suspected terrorists pero si Gloria dedma lang at ayaw makialam. Bakit? Masasabit siya kasi whether pinagutos niya o hindi dahil hindi naman tungkol sa national security kundi tungkol sa electoral fraud. Simply disgusting.

[...] As previously reported in this blog, the Con-Com proposes the suspension of the 2007 elections, with all officials staying in place until 2010. Meanwhile, Congress will be transformed into an interim parliament, with President Arroyo remaining as head of government until elections are held in 2010. (Click here for the transitory provisions as proposed by the Con-Com.) [...]

WHAT NEXT? Punit-punitin, gutay-gutayin, tapak-tapakan, sunugin at itapon sa basurahan. In the first place, hindi dapat nagkaroon nyang punyetang Con-Com na yan. It’s plain divertionary tactic ni Arrovo!!! at panlinlang sa mga taong nag-aalinlangan sa kanyang pagka-puwesto
sa Palasyo. I was even surprised when the Con-Com composition accepted the job. Tingin ko, kulang sa pansin ang mga yan. Why they allow themselves to be used is beyond imagination. We can not call them TANGA because they’re all educated OR maybe they are? We can not call them STUPID because they seemed to be sensible persons OR maybe they are? Kaya nga this country will never move on as long as there are people who allowed themselves to be used. How much of the precious taxpayers money were spent for this useless endeavor? A lot of people are homeless and without food on their tables. They all acceded to Arrovo’s ploy, without even thinking where the hell, she’s getting the budget for that self-serving initiative. In effect, these Con-Com people tolerated GLORIA’s misrule, deceit, cheating, thieving and lying. Con-Com is not the answer, I believe a REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT is what we need, a SURGICAL LIFT that will drastically change and replace the corrupt people in government. MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!!!!!!!!!

[...] In terms of Cabinet appointments, for example, our bet is she will name more of her allies in Congress to head government departments. Pleasing the House now is a hedge against the possibility of an impeachment complaint succeeding this year. She will also give favored legislators even more money for their districts, aware of the fact that, barring No-El (or no election as proposed by the consultative commission on charter change), many of them will be running for reelection in 2007. She probably figures, as do her enemies, that if she survives until 2007, she’s home free until her term ends in 2010. [...]

[...] The proposed scraping of the 2007 general elections contained in the transitory provisions of the Consultative Commission’s (ConCom) report for the amendment of the Philippine constitution is at the very best a bizarre idea. Assuming that the intention of constitutional reform is improving the democratic quality of government, then abolishing elections, the heart and substance of democracy, could be called the wrong strategy. [...]

Well here’s my 2 cents worth.

The way Ramos, you know that guy who believes he did such a great job when president (albeit this was during incredible global economic growth and nevertheless when Thailand fell we hurt the most. And this was many years before the US took a hit. Remember the peso going from 24.6 to 45 plus? Yeah, his policies we so good, and HIS (LOL Ramos not the other HE) legacy was so long lived?!?!?!?! that we still got screwed in the end. Gee was he really as good as he thinks he was? ANd how many of us really believe it???).

Anyway, the way this guy carries on, charter change is a done deal. He just wants Gloria out of bed, so he can jump in (the pension scheme for former presidents obviously isn’t that good). Unfortunately, one can only assume, because of the way things seem to run around here, that he doesn’t have the, well influence he had before. And she ain’t budging. She keeps slapping this guy so hard it ain’t funny. I mean, I even feel his humilitation. Has she paid the right guys in the military? Yeah you know, like the airforce guys who don’t even have one operational fighting aircraft anymore. That’s right, the guys who call themselves the air defense of the Philippines ( I hear they can now throw rocks so high into the sky that they can even hit an airplane on its way down to earth after all engines fail!!! ROFLOL).

Anyways, I think Mr. former president knows the right people to make the vote for cha-cha turn out the way he wants it. He just doesnt want her to be there. So there will be charter change and the LETHARGY in the electorate will continue to be well….. lethargic. Ahhhhh, truly democratic…. errrr philocratic.

Thanks for allowing me to blabber once again.

Oh and happy new year. LOL

[...] When the Con-Com submitted its report to Arroyo in December last year, Section 7 of Article XX, known as the NO-EL (no elections) provision, assures that the interim Parliament (2007-2010) will be filled with tried and proven allies, ready to do Pres. GMA’s bidding. But Paterno said that other cited sections, Sections 7, 9, and 11 to 13, of Article XX that are not as widely known, are more disturbing. [...]

[...] REFLECTIVE of the sharp division among Filipinos on the issue of charter change, former members of the Consultative Commission (Con-Com) created by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to study and recommend amendments to the 1987 Constitution continue to oppose each other over the current “people’s initiative” campaign for a shift to the parliamentary form of government. [...]

[...] The MBC also noted that even the Consultative Commission, tasked by the President to consult with the people and make recommendations to the Executive, failed to reach a consensus when it wrapped up its job in December last year. While the majority (35 of 55) of the Con-Com voted for the proposals, a minority of seven members dissented. [...]

[...] The series was written by Raissa Espinosa-Robles who, in 1984, wrote a 14-part series on the Marcos constitution for Business Day. Raissa dug up her files again and found transcripts, interviews and speeches that attest to how similar the current situation is to 1971-73, when Marcos managed to ram through a new constitution. This series compares historical material and transcripts of recent discussions in the Consultative Commission (ConCom) and found the following similarities: [...]
